‘Magnum, P.I.’ Actor Suffered a Tragic Death After a Paralyzing Car Crash

Magnum P.I. was one of the most successful TV shows of the ’80s. With Tom Selleck in the lead, the crime drama aired on CBS from 1980 to 1988. Three decades have passed since the show went off the air, and the series has seen several actors die. One Magnum P.I. cast member — Roger E. Mosley — suffered a tragic death after a paralyzing car crash last year.

The original Magnum P.I. follows a laid-back, aloha shirt–wearing private investigator living on a luxurious beach estate owned by a wealthy author after Magnum solves one of his cases. Thomas Sullivan Magnum (Selleck) doesn’t take many cases unless they suit him. And although his life in Hawaii is mostly breezy, he often has to contend with the estate’s caretaker, Jonathan Higgins (John Hillerman).
